.3.2. DMX Connection
The E.FLEX A.FLEX is fully controllable by DMX (USITT DMX512-A standard, based on RS-485) and RDM. It can
be connected using either DMX cables or via the built-in LumenRadio CRMX wireless system.
4.3.2.1. Cable Connection
If using a cabled DMX system, connect the DMX IN cable to the input connector (male 5-pin XLR connector).Once
you want to connect DMX Out at the same time, please use optional ROXX DMX I/O split cable (male/female 5-pin
XLR connectors). For outdoor installations, use only IP65-rated XLR connectors.
Use shielded twisted pair cable designed for RS-485 devices. The cables are daisy chained between the xtures,
and up to 32 xtures can be connected to the same DMX link. Up to 300 meters (1000ft.) of cable is achievable with
high quality DMX cables. All DMX links must be terminated in the last xture by connecting a DMX termination plug
to the last xture’s 5 pin DMX out connector. Standard microphone cable is not suitable for transmitting DMX.

.3.2.2. Wireless Connection*
E.FLEX A.FLEX is equipped with a LumenRadio ™ Transceiver module. This
enables the fixture to work with the following connectivity options:
Working in Receiver Mode: receive wireless DMX- and RDM Signals via CRMX
Working in Transmitter Mode: transmit DMX (1 universe) to other units via CRMX
Full Control via Bluetooth 5.0 and ROXX App
The Fixture is able to send DMX-data received by CRMX or Bluetooth to its physical DMX-Output XLR Connector
and hereafter, plugged in by cable, to any DMX-capable unit. For this please enable "Pass to DMX Out" inside Wi-
reless DMX Settings.
B.FLEX/A.FLEX
can act as a fully operative CRMX Receiver and be paired to an active wireless transmitter
(CRMX) simultanously as being connected to a cabled DMX. The device will prioritize cabled DMX input over wire-
less DMX and over Bluetooth. A small indicator infront of "DMX", "CRMX" or "BLE" gives an easy overview which
protocol is curently active. Please see the display graphics below.
If using a wireless DMX system, ensure that the DMX input and the DMX output are properly sealed. Connect both
DMX IN and DMX OUT, or seal, in order to maintain the fixture’s IP65 rating.
*Note: If you are using XLR for DMX and not Bluetooth we recommend to not connect to Bluetooth unless
you need to since it can cause a few dropped DMX packets.
BLE and CRMX RX are not available simoultaneously.
• If CRMX RX is enabled and BLE will enabled after, CRMX automatically changes to TX mode.
• If CRMX TX operating mode is changed to RX, BLE will be disabled automatically.
